i am chinese. i am proud of being a chinese
with five thousand years of civilization behind. i’ve learned about the four great
inventions made by our forefathers. i’ve learned about the great wall and the yangtze river. i’ve learned about zhang heng and i’ve learned about zheng he．who says the yellow river
civilization has vanished？i know that my ancestors have made miracles on this fertile land and
we’re still
making miracles. who can ignore the fact that we have established ourselves as
a great state in the world, that we have devised our own nuclear weapons, that
we have successfully sent our satellites into space, and that our gnp ranks no.
7 in the world? we have experienced the plunders by other nations, and we have
experienced the war. yet, based on such ruins, there still stands our
nation----china, unyielding and unconquerable!
i once came across an american tourist. she
said, “china has a history of five thousand years, but the us only has a
history of 200 years. five thousand years ago, china took the lead in the
world, and now it is the us that is leading.” my heart was deeply touched by
these words. it is true that we’re still a developing nation, but it doesn’t mean that we can despise
ourselves. we have such a long-standing history, we have such abundant
resources, we have such intelligent and diligent people, and we have enough to
be proud of. we have reasons to say proudly： we are sure to take the lead in the world in the future again, for
our problems are big, but our ambition is even bigger, our challenges are
great, but our will is even greater.
i am chinese. i have inherited black hair
and black eyes. i have inherited the virtues of my ancestors. i have also taken
over responsibility. i am sure, that wherever i go, whatever i do, i shall
never forget that i am chinese!
good afternoon, i am delighted to be here
today, and i also feel it a great honor to address here. thank you, miss hong,
and thanks to all of you present here to give me the opportunity.
today my topic is “learn to be thankful”,
and i want to talk about the love given by our parents. have you ever noticed
that your mother’s white hair
has increased, and have you ever noticed that your father’s wrinkles have become more deeply
when you came home from school to spend your vacation. why do they have to work
so hard even in their old years? the answer is very easy, they want to make as
much money as they can, so that they can send you more money, thus, you will
live a better life in the university, and you won’t be looked down on by others. and just think for a minute and ask
yourself what have you done in the university. have you studied hard? did you
abuse the money earned toughly by your parents? the answer maybe yes, or the
answer maybe no, and some students may say that “we are still student now, we
can do nothing” whatever it is, i want to tell you that, as a grade three
student, you are not a pure student anymore, and there are many ways for you to
show your love to your parents, maybe a phone call or maybe a diploma you got,
or maybe a warm greeting. it is time for you to reward your parents now. and
from this minute, this moment, try your best to be better in the future and
remember that never let your parents down. i know that most of are good
students, and we should try harder and be excellent.
that’s all. finally, i want to invite all of you to complete a action.
